My buddy has a leaking PTO crank seal on his M1000. Dealer says the engine has to come out and be torn down to replace. WTF?? Is this for real? Seems like alot for a pretty much external part.
I have a friend going through the same thing with less than 200 miles, when they pulled the crank out it was tweaked way out of specs and they ended up sending him a complete motor, arrived today, should be installed tomorrow.
